Davide Ficano — Sicily, Italy
macOS / Android / Web developer, building modern and scalable apps.

I like creating web, mobile, and desktop applications. My focus is on TypeScript/React, Android/Kotlin, Swift/macOS, and PHP/Laravel backends. I'm also proficient in Rust and Ruby.

In 2010 I wrote VisualDiffer in Objective-C (a language I love), and in 2025 I rewrote it in Swift (a language I love it, no I hate it, no I love it, no I hate it...).

Tech

I spent years learning all of the above. Then the AI showed up and now it apparently fits in a single prompt. Still keeping the list — for sentimental reasons.
